Buffalo Sabres players Owen Power and Tage Thompson | Icon Sportswire/GettyImagesThe Buffalo Sabres' eight-game winning streak has pushed aside any thought about new general manager Jarmo Kekalainen immediately making a flurry of roster moves, but that doesn't mean there won't be a marquee deal or two ahead of the 2026 NHL trade deadline in March.
